Info
Ranimsul, the sneak, the god is so cautious, that most priest think Ranimsul is not his true name; some priests just call him "The sneak" because of this. This enables him to walk freely between mortals, manipulating them as he sees fit, with his divine powers. He is cautious however, so he won't often display his power, and never his identity. He is married to Uastra. Although Uastra loves Ranimsul dearly, Ranimsul doesn't return her love (this Uastra doesn't know). He however doesn't breaks his marriage because the treemen and the Satyr are protecting his beloved Dryad and his pet project, the lizardman. Ranimsu is generally not seen and quiet. But when provoked he jumps from his hiding place and performs a few hasty interventions before suddenly disappearing, not re-emerging for days. His Angels, the Dryad, are said to be the least seen of the Angels, some mortals even believe that every sighting of a Dryad was actually Ranimsul in disguise, this believe holds no truth, the Dryads are real. They live in the center of the forest and are the hart of it, they keep close tags on the evolution of the flora and fauna of Heimr, knowing that the slightest disturbance in balance could destroy an ecosystem, these treewalking females actively destroy flora and fauna that evolves to fast, and protect the rare species by stopping hunters and gatherers, first by warning, than by force, and if that fails they will try to seduce them, luring them away from the particular plant or beast. His demons, the kobolds, are the weakest demon, their cruel brothers, the goblin, often pick fights with them, that the kobolds try to avoid. They hack away rocks, making sure (natural) earth quacks will never appear on divine homes (places of worship, or gathering places for angels and demons). This however causes (first small, but soon they grow) earthquakes in the city's of the mortal races, if the kobolds work to long on one spot. Kobolds are experts at hiding in caves.
Good Worshipping methods
Halfling clerics that worship Ranimsul often live as a hermit, away from everyone, giving divine advice to other faithful halflings if they are able to find them. The oldest of the Halfling clerics is said to be a direct link to Ranimsul himself, and is often called "The Oracle". Lizardmen that have their homes exposed, found, or destroyed, pray to Ranimsul in helping them find a new base of operation before they return to their Zalsz worship. Skeptics often pray to Ranimsul, asking him for help to stab trough lies, scams, and hoaxes.
Evil Worshipping methods
Evil cults worshipping Ranimsul work in utmost secret. Most evil cults work in secret, but this cult is so secretly, that even members sometimes wonder if the cult even exists at all. Nobody knows what they do exactly and even the lorekeepers have not yet been able to infiltrate Ranimsul cults because of the caution of the members. Members often join because of curiosity, wanting to find out what is behind the secrets, often following orders of higher ranked members without question hoping they will once be the one giving orders. In truth, this is nothing but a power Pyramid... or is it? Maybe at low ranks it is, but maybe at high ranks the cultists actively help kobolds topple large city's.
